Type: Cybersecurity safety-filter false positive · Work domain (heuristic): general

Why this is a false positive

The session was performing a basic project inspection (listing directory contents to confirm it was empty), with no security-sensitive code, exploit content, or cyber-offensive material involved. The block appears to have been triggered by the project's codename alone rather than any actual message content, halting an otherwise routine and benign exploratory task.

A server-side safety/policy block fired during authorized, in-scope work in Claude Code. Filing as a false positive. Recurred across 1 session(s); first seen 2026-07-07T01:20:19.352Z.
